On behalf of our organization and staff we are pleased to announce the expansion of the scope of our conference to include school/student safety. Our theme this year is Beyond Preventing Bullying: How to Create Safe, Positive School Climate and Culture.

The 2014 Anti-Bullying & School Safety Conferences will serve as a venue for the most knowledgeable national scholars and practitioners to share their expertise on the prevention of bullying and the creation of safe, positive school climate and culture.

This year marks an expansion of the conference to three sites: Atlantic City, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. The conference expansion permits in-depth coverage of the important workshop topics and allows for educators to choose a location that best fits their needs.

The Conference welcomes the participation of school personnel including Anti-Bullying Coordinators, Anti-Bullying Specialists, School Psychologists, Social Workers, SAC's, School Resource Officers, and Public Safety as well as personnel from other organizations that work with youth.
